 YOU'LL WANT TO SPRING FOR THIS SALAD-AN EVER READY SPECIAL

Cook's Notes: Salads need not be boring. This grilled chicken blueberry salad is filled with a combination of delicious ingredients you will be craving often. Add in cucumbers, grated white cheddar, avocado slices, and toasted almonds drizzled with poppyseed dressing you'll have a drool-worthy meal. The beauty of this recipe is the ingredients can easily be increased depending on the number of servings needed. Optional add-ins are croutons, red onion slices and/or dried cranberries.
